disagree immensely here. was discussing this with my flatmates the other day. i find fps view too restrictive. it's impossible to see what's going on around or behind you without physically moving your character. in 3ps, you generally have control over the external camera and have a greater ability to get a feel for the environment, set up combo shots or exit strategies, and generally is a less frustrating experience when you're frantically searching for where enemy fire is coming from without compromising your actual character.

or at least that's how i come out of it
